New Jersey Voting Sites May Not Have Power

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, whose state suffered extensive flooding and electrical outages from Hurricane Sandy, says he’s not sure whether New Jersey polling sites will have power by Election Day.

“I’d like to have the polling places powered up for next Tuesday,” Mr. Christie told reporters at a Wednesday evening press conference. “I would like that. I’m not yet to the point where I know whether we’re going to be able to do that or we’re not going to be able to do that.”

Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who also serves as secretary of state overseeing elections, will focus on that in the next two days and come up with a plan in case polling places have no power, he said.
